Hrefna is Hild's younger sister and Hrafnkell's daughter.
Appearance[]
Hrefna is a young blond girl who wears her hair in two braids. Her hair is parted to the side and her long bangs are styled into a braid along her forehead.
Personality[]
Hrefna is a spirited young girl who is not afraid to speak her mind. She appears to be close to her family, telling Hild to cut her hair and get a makeover and telling her father that she'll marry into a rich family instead of marrying one of his apprentices.
History[]
As Hild's family gathers for a meal, Hrefna scolds her father Hrafnkell for taking up all of Hild's time with talk of their workshop and saw, stating she wants to talk to Hild and play with her too. She tells Hild that they could do her hair, cut her bangs and get her pretty clothes, and that as she has a pretty face, she'd be popular if she got a makeover. When Hild tells her she doesn't care about being popular with boys, Hrefna comments that she'll never become a bride at that rate. Hild replies that she doesn't need to become a bride, which shocks Hrefna and their mother, especially when Hrafnkell agrees that she doesn't need to if she doesn't want to. Hrafnkell tells Hrefna that she can take one of his apprentices as a groom, but Hrefna says she'll be married off to a rich family and doesn't want to marry a carpenter.
There is a knock at the door and Hrefna's mother answers; she is killed with a spear through the stomach by one of Askeladd's men. Hrafnkell instructs his daughters to go through the back door and run to the forest. As she leans against a tree, exhausted after running, Hild realizes that Hrefna is no longer with her and frantically calls for her. Hrafnkell appears and puts his hand over her mouth, telling her to be quiet. Hild tells him that she and Hrefna got separated and that he has to find her. Hrafnkell simply looks sad and hugs Hild, implying Hrefna was likely killed. Hild's master later tells her he is sorry for her loss when he learns she is from the inlet village that was attacked.
